[QUOTE="JimLor, post: 285722, member: 442"] Andre - you mention "corrected figures" as mathematical cheating. I see corrected times as just the opposite. Corrected figures, at least theoretically, let you compare a bike that ran a xx sec qtr mile in 40 degree weather in Denver with the same another bike that ran a xx qtr mile in 95 degree weather in Miami. You can run the same bike in those conditions and you'll get a significant difference. When you "correct" the time, you are at least trying to "correct" the time as if the bike/car ran under like conditions. Example, the bike will run better with the more dense 40 degree temp than in the 95 degree temp. So, there are figures to correct both times to a "standard" temp - I don't know what that is, but I suspect it's 70 F or thereabouts. Bottom line, correcting the times is an attempt to provide a standard to compare 1/4 mile times. A good idea, if done correctly and consistently, in my opinion. That's what I think. [/QUOTE]
